A smart phone microwaved for just one minute will
fully charge the battery. In 2005 Apple started a smear
campaign to discourage customers from using this
method to charge phones as it would affect charger
sales. Scientific studies shows that charging a phone
this way is safe and is actually better for the phone' s
battery life as electrical current found in mains can
fluctuate and damage the battery cell.

This is a post about how sticking your phone in the microwave will charge it, and the one thing you call out as fake is "Hey apple didn't make phones in 2005!". How dare those who made this not do their research,

Am I the only one that thinks this is a little bit of a dick move? I mean really, how many people know that microwaving a cell phone is bad? It sounds like common sense, but that's one thing they don't teach you in school, and if you don't learn from a parent or friend, there's no way of knowing. Most people do know not to microwave metal, but nowadays with their all-plastic casing, you can't even tell if there's metal inside unless you have a good technical understanding of what's inside cell phones and other electronic devices.

That, and you just cost them $400 for a few cheap laughs.

I pointed out that this "prank" was a jerk move. Drown me in red thumbs.

(Deleted the first reply because it inserted a godawful smiley face)
Yes, I am (insert non-gay emoticon showing that I'm joking). Honestly, I don't mind if you prank someone, as long as you're willing to fix anything you've damaged. The issue is when you do hundreds of dollars of damage for the sake of a laugh, and then they're the ones footing the bill for foolishly listening to you.

And no, you don't have to be a theoretical physicist or laser engineer to know that high-intensity radiation can **** up circuits and electric components.
Anyone who ever played a shooter game or seen some action movie or another knows the term and idea of an EMP, and connecting those dots isn't too hard.

Unless you're an uneducated, hapless half-wit with no concept of the physical world like the typical American is stereotyped as, but I do not feel sorry for them losing an expensive toy to their own idiocy.

Did you have to throw in stereotyped American? Couldn't he be an uneducated person from any part of the world? I'm not some sensitive prick, I get stereotypes, but a majority of America's higher education system is actually very good. I get what you're saying though, but think about it, American high schools are almost on par with chinese middle schools. That's pretty good if you ask me.

It was the first thing that came to mind and also has the advantage of people in here being very familiar with it, so I went with it and don't feel sorry.
That said, you might have noticed I explicitly portrayed the stereotype as a stereotype, actually called it out as such.
I myself have the luck and privilege of knowing/having befriended a number of guys from the US I absolutely look up to; smart, ingenious people, kind, honest, skilled and helpful.

I did not mean offense to the Americans. Not this time, at least.

"American high schools are almost on par with chinese middle schools"
Half my class went to the US for two weeks in a sort of exchange program; I am Austrian by the way and our education system is quite ****** ; and they came back reporting that the overall niveau of education was absolutely laughable. Now most of those guys and gals were airheads, but usually everyone refers to the US public education as inadequate and dysfunctional; especially the Americans I talk to do.

Again, I'm not trying to point fingers and chant "You suck You suck", but that is my personal experience and all I have to go by.
Neither do I believe it means mericans are uncultured and backwards, again, I personally know people proving that is not the case and I'm glad I do.

Look at me writing a novel for a reply.
Have a strange gif in return. I think the guy broke his arse.

One of the overlooked variables in education is the actual children who are being educated though. The average high school graduate in America has learned far less than those before by say 10 years considering how little care for their education. I am an American and I hate a great number of Americans simply for the fact that our children are texting in class, disrespecting our teachers, doing drugs, frying their brains, drinking and throwing their lives away. The American education system is just fine, it's not great, it's good. The PATHETIC excuse for 'punishment' American schools have nowadays is laughable. Most children don't care if they are expelled, so they will ignore detentions and nothing will change.

Please just don't blame the public system when it's the public that are the problem, not the system.
